Praise for Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob

Welsh author, illustrator and graphic novelist Aaron has flipped the traditional bedtime story on its head to create a delightfully different rhyming tale about child monsters and villains settling down for the night. But, rather than causing a fright, it brims with just the right amount of loving cosiness to help mini humans drift off.

Observer

Featuring a catalogue of sleepy monsters from cyborg to yeti, winding down alongside the cute little blob of the title, this rhyming bedtime picture book is a witty, tender mix of the adorable and the appalling.

Guardian

Huw Aaron's witty rhyming verse takes readers through the evening routine of the blob and other "creatures grim and evil"... The bright illustrations burst with amusing details and the book has a sweet overriding message that little monsters the world over - no matter how slimy - crave the same loving cuddles at bedtime
